Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 231 Deputy Lieutenant Jiang

Jiang Wenjie was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at the speaking girl.

The latter has a delicate face and a dignified temperament, and a pair of beautiful almond eyes are staring straight at him, making his heart tremble slightly.

Rumor has it that the Seventh Princess went to look for Master Fan, and then disappeared in Changli. Although news came back to the capital recently, she never showed up, and the girl in front of her...

In just a short while, Jiang Wenjie's mind was turned and turned, and he hurriedly saluted, "I pay my respects to Princess Changli."

Fan Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and stood aside calmly.

Seventh Princess, who was suppressed invisible by Fang Yao these days, suddenly became proud.

She raised her chin and snorted lightly: "You have eyes and recognized this princess, what's your name?"

Jiang Wenjie was very happy to see the Seventh Princess' visit, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Jiang Wenjie, Your Majesty the Princess has not returned from Beijing these days, and Shuyu is always thinking about you..."

The Seventh Princess was very satisfied: "Sister Shuyu is still good to me. I came to find her specially today, so please call her out quickly."

Jiang Wenjie: "Shuyu is in the backyard, I'll find a maid to take you there..."

"No need, Brother Chen and I have business to do, so you can ask her to come to the main hall." Seventh Princess interrupted unceremoniously.

Jiang Wenjie was taken aback again, and couldn't help looking at Fan Chen, who said calmly, "Vice Jiang, we do have business to ask you and the county magistrate this time, please inform me as soon as possible."

"Ah, ah, that's good."

After a brief daze, Jiang Wenjie quickly came back to his senses. Although his heart was still full of doubts, his face was calm.

He first asked the servant to lead the three of them to the main hall, then he found a servant, and after a few words in a low voice, he went to the study in person.

the other side.

Fang Yao and the others walked forward at a leisurely pace behind the boy carrying the lantern.

Probably, he had seen the extremely luxurious Yuanwai's mansion once in Liyang County. At this time, the Duke's mansion was not bad, and all the pavilions and pavilions were exquisite.

However, the huge disparity in status gave Fang Yao a feeling that... the Duke's Mansion was nothing more than that.

On the way, she turned her head and glanced at the direction of the gate, which had long been out of sight, and asked Fan Chen in a low voice: "Do you know that man just now?"

Fan Chen said softly: "Are you talking about that Deputy Captain Jiang?"

Fang Yao nodded.

It was too quiet at night, and they were so close together that the boy leading the way naturally heard their conversation.

He didn't look back, thinking that the princess was talking to Fan Chen. After all, the princess was at the door just now, so she showed curiosity about Deputy Jiang.

The servant explained enthusiastically: "Your Majesty, Lord Fan, that Mr. Jiang just now is the Jinyi Deputy Lieutenant of the Forbidden Army, and also the future husband-in-law of our county lord."

Fang Yao's complexion changed slightly.

Fan Chen glanced at her lightly, and then asked the boy: "Deputy Captain Jiang looks very talented, he doesn't look like someone in the army, he shouldn't have joined the army not long ago, right?"

The servant chuckled: "Our new uncle, don't look like a frail scholar, I heard that he has been a soldier for almost five years."

Fang Yao, who was walking behind, paused slightly.

Five years.

Jiang's husband was forcibly taken away to serve in the military five years ago...

The face of Deputy Captain Jiang appeared again in Fang Yao's mind.

He has a handsome appearance, slightly fair skin, and his eyebrows and eyes are seven or eight points similar to Dabao's!
Therefore, when she suddenly saw the other party just now, she couldn't help being stunned for a while.

The seventh princess looked a little disappointed, "That person is the county matriarch. I always feel like I've seen him somewhere before, but his appearance...it's nothing more than that, not half of brother Chen's at all."

The smile on the boy's face stiffened, and he quickly shut his mouth.

Along the way, everyone had different thoughts, and no one continued to chat.

After passing through several courtyard gates, the three of them came to the main hall of the Duke's Mansion.

Before the masters of the mansion arrived, the housekeeper hurried over to greet Fan Chen and Seventh Princess to sit down.

Plates of tea and snacks are on the top, most of which are pastries and snacks that girls love to eat.

The Seventh Princess gracefully raised her right hand, picked up a piece of orange-yellow candied fruit, and said deliberately: "Ah, there is also my favorite melon candied fruit."

The butler quickly showed a flattering smile: "Your Highness, these are all made by the royal chef in the palace, and they must be your favorite flavor."

"Hey."

After hearing this, Princess Seven pretended to be sad and sighed, "Unfortunately, some people can't eat it for a lifetime."

Fang Yao's eyelids twitched as she stood behind Fan Chen as the backdrop, always feeling that the girl's pretentious words were meant for her.

Sure enough, the Seventh Princess turned her head, raised her chin towards her, and said with a noble and contemptuous expression: "If you want to eat, just say something that the princess likes to hear, and I will reward you."

Fang Yao rolled her eyes lightly, glanced at the yellow candied fruit in Princess Seven's hands, and tried her best not to roll her eyes.

"Thank you princess."

Fan Chen said something abruptly, then took the plate from Seventh Princess's hand, and said to the stunned housekeeper, "Help wrap it up for me, I'll go back and eat."

"Ah, ok..."

The housekeeper hurriedly asked someone to fetch some clean oil paper.

Seventh Princess sat aside, watching helplessly as her favorite snacks were packaged and handed to the woman behind her by someone.

Fan Chen said without changing his expression: "Take it well, don't lose it."

"Oh."

Cheating and snatching the little girl's snack, Fang Yao's face was a little hot, she took it with drooping eyes, and stuffed it into her clothes.

The padded jacket, which was already bloated, suddenly bulged up in the front...

Seventh Princess sat on the chair, puffing her cheeks angrily.

Suddenly, a soft female voice came from outside: "Princess..."

Several people in the hall looked for their reputation at the same time.

A woman in a goose-yellow jacket and skirt walked quickly from outside, and on another road not far behind her, Vice-Lieutenant Jiang and several other men also hurried over.

Fang Yao secretly observed these people.

The woman looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. Judging by her rich and noble attire, she must be the rumored Yiping County Lord.

Deputy Captain Jiang at the back...

Fang Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, and turned her gaze back and forth several times on his face before looking at the people beside her.

The gray-haired old man walking in the front, dressed luxuriously, must be Ye Guogong, the owner of the mansion.

The two young men with similar looks behind him should be Ye Guogong's sons.

"Princess, it's really you..."

Fang Yao's attention was once again attracted by the soft female voice.

I saw the Yiping County Lord who came in first, although he called "Princess" in his mouth, but his eyes fell on Fan Chen's face.

"The lower official has seen the county magistrate."

Fan Chen stood up and saluted calmly.

The county magistrate of Yiping didn't speak, but his eyes were full of feelings that he wanted to talk about.

But Fan Chen didn't look at her anymore, he got up and said to the person behind: "Master Guo, the lower official has something to visit late at night, so you are bothering me."

The Yiping county lord quickly lowered his eyes and walked to the Seventh Princess.
